About

First and foremost, I am not a blockchain or cryptocurrency expert, nor am I trying to present myself as one. I am someone who is fascinated by blockchain technology and have spent a fair amount of time reading and learning about its potential. Anything you read on CryptoAmbit.com is basically an aggregation of everything I've learned on the subject so far - to see where a lot of my information has come from, check out my resources page.

I first got interested in blockchain when reading The Industries of The Future by Alec Ross. The chapter entitled The Codification of Money contained a segment on Bitcoin and blockchain that together, Ross said, formed a revolutionary new form of internet money with world changing applications.

At the time, Bitcoin was surging from $1,000 to $2,000 per unit which served to further pique my interest. From there, I started reading more and more about this mysterious internet currency and the blockchain technology that enabled strangers on the internet to transact without banks or intermediaries. Before I knew it, I had descended down the ultimate rabbit hole that revealed how these technologies are in the process of transforming finance, governments, and society as a whole.

I hope to help whoever reads this website gain a basic understanding of what blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are and why they're important.
